However, alongside the changes in property prices has come changes to buyers' needs. In fact, according to Garrington, more space, somewhere comfortable to work and a better standard of life are cited as top requirements on many buyers’ wish lists.
"With millions of people keen to continue working remotely at least some of the time, many are reassessing what they want from their home – and this shift is transforming Britain’s property market for good," the company explained. The news comes as part of their announcement of their annual 'Best Places to Live' list.
